Well, it's clear that what I see before me minions is the begining...of the end...of Scottie's (my) lone arrowhead ("we're going to put all our wood behind one arrowhead"), SPARC. Bye Bye SPARC, I knew thee well! But now I must figure a way to get from here...in SPARCLAND...to there...the promised land. Oh what a tortuous path ahead of me!!! And once there...how to fight the giant and lean dragons there awaiting their latecoming prey. But alas!! I recall in a dream that I was once there before and I am thankful you will have me back. For this gesture I promise not to trash you anymore when I speak at conferences. And now how do I make my SUNW different and unique from those here before me. And..what of my SPARC partners who I promised the world, and a clone business to? And what to tell my customers having once told them SPARC forever...just like the Apple II. And how do I erase from NEXIS/LEXIS my infamous words spoken after a tough hockey loss and a few buds that I would never ever ever never be a reseller of INTEL OR MICROSOFT product. One down, one to go.
